Introduce a new function that maps an object source's type to a
human-readable name. Use the function to provide better human-readable
error messages for the downcasting functions.

The in-memory source stores its objects in a simple array that we grow as
needed. This has a couple of downsides:
- The object lookup is O(n). This doesn't matter in practice because
we only store a small number of objects.
- We don't have an easy way to iterate over all objects in
lexicographic order.
- We don't have an easy way to compute unique object ID prefixes.
Refactor the code to use an oidtree instead. This is the same data
structure used by our loose object source, and thus it means we get a
bunch of functionality for free.

Implement the `free()` callback function for the "in-memory" source.
Note that this requires us to define `struct cached_object_entry` in
"odb/source-inmemory.h", as it is accessed in both "odb.c" and
"odb/source-inmemory.c" now. This will be fixed in subsequent commits
though.

Next to our typical object database sources, each object database also
has an implicit source of "cached" objects. These cached objects only
exist in memory and some use cases:
- They contain evergreen objects that we expect to always exist, like
for example the empty tree.
- They can be used to store temporary objects that we don't want to
persist to disk, which is used by git-blame(1) to create a fake
worktree commit.
Overall, their use is somewhat restricted though. For example, we don't
provide the ability to use it as a temporary object database source that
allows the user to write objects, but discard them after Git exists. So
while these cached objects behave almost like a source, they aren't used
as one.
This is about to change over the following commits, where we will turn
cached objects into a new "in-memory" source. This will allow us to use
it exactly the same as any other source by providing the same common
interface as the "files" source.
For now, the in-memory source only hosts the cached objects and doesn't
provide any logic yet. This will change with subsequent commits, where
we move respective functionality into the source.
